  "Missing girl Allie continues to be searched after being gone for 2 days... If anyone has news about her, please call the following number below. May the people with news get a thousand dollar cash as a thank you for the people who had helped to find a new path for the investigators into searching this clueless matter..."

  Anson, the guy from Allie's class, who was also her crush at the same time was listening to the dim-lit television outside the living room. He had the whole house to himself, thanks to his parents were extremely busy. One had to work abroad for another business trip which would last for a month or so. The other one had gotten a divorce recently and had moved away with the luggage packed outside the entrance, but it was gotten rid of as his mom had finally moved away to another new neighborhood with a new handsome old man. Anson knows the reason why she had left, the family was never the same as he stepped until college. The bills were often barely met, and his mom didn't seem happy working from one job to another. Another reason was his father hardly was at home, and his mom lacked love from her husband, thus she met an old billionaire who has time for her and money that she won't have to worry about for the rest of her life. 

  It has been 3 days since Allie had gone missing and everyone had been talking about it. Even Anson, the guy who hardly cares about the girls in the class couldn't stop thinking about it. The missing of the nice girl provokes him to think about what has happened to her whenever the news broadcast about the girl. Did she kill herself or was lost? Or she was being kidnapped? The whole school had been talking about her, even though they didn't know her.

  The house was now empty, and he had just finished his dinner after watching the news which has Allie all over every news channel he could see. He couldn't believe that his life was such a mess, from his family separation recently till his classmate was missing. Even though Allie's missing wasn't much of his business, he felt the bad luck swarmed over his life these days.

  Anson switched off the television, hoping to cut himself from looking at the bad things in life. For once, he wanted to be lucky and happy. Yet, he never could be one. He looked at the clock, it was currently 10:30 pm. Kind of late, but he was extremely tired as he had never slept before. 

  Pulling the door to his room, he closed the curtains and turned off the lights. The house was silent as he yawned, crawling back onto the bed. He wanted to cut off the bad thoughts bubbling up in his mind again. And sleeping was the only way to the problem.

                                                            **********************

  "Help!"

  "Please!"

  "I need help!"

  "Anyone?!"

  It was a girl's voice. A sweet, high-pitched voice screeched called.

  "Help! Help!" The voice continues, louder and louder. 

  Anson had found his ears vibrating continuously thanks to the loud pitched noise. He saw his fading and transparent body back to life. His blurry vision changed towards something black like he was in some kind of prison cage background.

  He felt his existence present, and he was back on his feet. He looked around the whole place, searching for where he was. He didn't know where he was, why he was here. But all he knew was the place was dark and gloomy. It seems the place was vast and endless, as he could never see where the walls and the end of the world is. 

  He looked and found himself wearing the uniform from school. But isn't he at home, resting in his comfortable bed of his, but now landing at an unknown place full of darkness which made people feel uneasy and weird?
